The past is in debate and the future in unknown
Who knows where I'm heading to?

Maybe like in Pharaoh's dream the seven cows evil to the sight and gaunt in flesh will eat the seven cows beautiful to sight and fat.

Seven cows and a dream I refuse to let go
And a future for rotten politicians to interpret

Right now all I can do is walk into the light
Trying to leave the darkness behind me

The darkness that is the life of everyone I know
I must be heading for heaven, because I'm already am living in hell

This shot was taken in J'enin, Palestine. The sun was rising and this lonely Arab Shepard, on an endless road, was walking his cows into the sun.
The picture is not a political statement. It's an acknowledgment that suffering exists on both sides of the border. Where innocent people simply try to stay alive and hope for a peaceful future.

I hope you see what I mean.

I love this, the description the art. This really proves what my father told me as a child, you can only describe life as different peices of art and art can only be descibed with a million words :)

This is truly beautiful. It reminds me of a shepherd who walks his cows past our house every morning and late afternoon. I never thought a picture of cows could look so mystical and beautiful.
